What is this?

Ok, I have a few pictures to show you. I will tell you this about it. The pictures are of the skin of a 4 year old Golden Retriever. He has a brain condition which required him to be put on long term phenobarbital and prednisone. The neurologic issues resolved with medication. Approximately 6 months after the medication was started, this happened:




The lesions are hard and crusted. The hair that is attached easily pulls off. There is some itching/discomfort associated with it but overall the dog is doing well - happy, eating, etc.

This WAS biopsied and so we do have a definite diagnoses.

Any thoughts or further questions?

  1. He had calcinoisis cutis which can be caused by chronic steroid administration or Cushings dz. This resolved with medication and weaning off the steroid.
